Overview I am a former graduate student at UC-Santa Barbara, where I earned my PhD in experimental particle physics on the CMS experiment. I have since taken a position as a research scientist at the Boston Fusion Corporation.
	Research I worked with Dr. Claudio Campagnari's group, which focuses on new and unexpected results from CMS: evidence of supersymmetry, exotic new particles, etc. My dissertation involved a search for SUSY with same-sign final-state dileptons. For more specific details, click here.
	Coursework I have completed all my required and elective coursework.
	Teaching I previously served as the instructor for PHYS 6B (Summer 2014) and as a TA for PHYS 23 (Fall 2010), 6AL (Winter 2011), 6CL (Spring 2011), ASTRO 1 (Fall 2011 and Winter 2012), and PHYS 150 (Spring 2016).
	Archives I have a series of papers and derivations available online, see here.
	CV in a Nutshell Research Scientist, Boston Fusion Corp., 2016-present Basic and applied research in science and computing, generally through military and defense contracts. Graduate Student, UC-Santa Barbara, 2010-2016 See above! REU Fellow, Kansas State University, 2008 During this federally-funded fellowship, I worked with Dr. Glenn Horton-Smith and Dr. Tim Bolton to study some effects related to the KAMLAND and Double Chooz neutrino oscillation experiments. For further information, please see the website I wrote while working there. Undergraduate Student, University of Pittsburgh, 2006-2010 I graduated from Pitt with majors in physics and math. While working on my degree, I worked with Dr. Steven Dytman to construct hardware and software related to neutrino cross sections in the MINERvA experiment, and neutrino oscillations for the T2K experiment. For further information related to my research at Pitt, please see the slides that I delivered to my undergraduate seminar. I also served as a TA in the math department for two years.
